Looking at the relationship between modernity and the rise of charismatic leaders, Agnes Horvath uses ‘threshold’ situations to trace the conditions out of which political regimes developed. The focus on rationalism and structure has led to a systematic neglect of uncertain liminal moments, which gave new direction to societies and cultures.
